Fructosyl-methionine(CAT: I027803) is a glycated amino acid formed by the non-enzymatic attachment of a fructose molecule to the amino acid methionine through a Maillard reaction. This modification is commonly studied in the context of protein glycation and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are implicated in aging and metabolic disorders. Fructosyl-methionine serves as a valuable biomarker in diabetes research for monitoring glycemic control and oxidative stress. It is also explored in nutritional and biochemical studies to understand protein stability, food chemistry, and the effects of glycation on protein function and disease progression.
